btw, i think this episode solidifies charlie hunnam as jax. he's so into the role that i don't even mind the accent anymore, it's a part of jax now. that scene where he straight up tells those guys with guns on samcro that abel was taken, he looked so broken. you can see a big theme of the season will be what does something like this do to jax, and how is it different or similar to what his brother's death did to his father.

tara annoys the shit out of me, however. comes across SO uptight, even when she's being happy.

the aimlessness of this season is kinda bringing down the show as a whole for me. it's still a good show, but it can't really compete with the shield anymore. it's lacking that intensity, other than the premiere.
